Thank you for the suggestion guys, I'll look into them. Usually collabs and third party items are excluded from discounts. I'm still open to more suggestions!

Also, are those cashmere sweaters and cardigans really worth it around ~$100? It's just crazy expensive for me for a sweater even at that price point. Can someone explain to be what makes cashmere so great?

LOL! You're the one who works there--you tell us!

But what I know of cashmere from my own experience is that what makes it great is that it is so soft and so warm.

I recently started work at Jcrew so I'm able to get a few items at a steep discount. Any recommendations as to what I should buy to add to my wardrobe? Basically if you could get up to 50% off on things what would you get?

To me, cashmere sweaters are warm, soft and clean / sharp looking. I have polled forum members and have really to date not found cashmere sweaters at a better value than J Crew. Most of the time when I ask for cashmere sweater recommendations, I get recommended brands at $500 or more. As a comparison, Uniqlo has cashmere sweaters that are flimsy and thin at $80 bucks or so, and are not comparable. I don't really see much cashmere between that and Ralph Lauren and Brooks Brothers, which are $400 bucks regular price and $275 and up on sale.

Ahahahaha I know huh? Cashmere definitely looks sharper and more luxurious but its just hard to take care of them and are pretty expensive. Considering I'm a poor recent grad it just doesn't seem like the best items to get for the money.
